ZenFoodsterOctober 22, 2015Juiciest $9.50 lunch deal (M-F 11-4pm) & best rotisserie chicken in NYC: 1/4 (white or dark meat) chicken w/ avocado tomato salad, a soda, & side (rice & beans, tostones, or fries). Ask 4 green sauce!
- The Corcoran GroupSeptember 20, 2013Hands down, the best Peruvian Chicken in the city! Get the Matador Combo if you're really hungry or are with a couple of friends: one whole chicken, rice, beans, tostones, salchipapa, & avocado salad.
L. RoseNovember 21, 2015Rotisserie chicken with saffron rice are to die for. Mixed the green sauce with garlic sauce and cried myself to sleep. So gooodd. Fast delivery if you order early. Large portions. Do it. Just do it.
One matador entree is enough for the people easily! Very good food, almost like a family bbq
Jessica NgJune 30, 2015The lunch special is such a great deal! Definitely get the chicken leg - the meat is so tender it practically falls off of the bones.
New York HabitatNovember 30, 2011Try the $10 lunch special - Peruvian Chicken with fried plantains, a salad, and a drink. Of course, you won't want to leave without trying their tasty, strong sangria either.
Elis ForgeriniJanuary 15, 2015The best peruvian restaurant in NY. El Matador is awesome and the guys are very kind also. I Love this place ❤️
Louis-Felix BinetteDecember 25, 2015Everything is wrong here. Everything. Except the food, which is delicious. And the company, if you're lucky like I am. :)
Bryan AndrewNovember 6, 2014Rotisserie chicken was awesome! Sangria was good but a bit sweet for me. I didn't think the restaurant was as polished as it actually was. A little shocking!
Yee Ting WuAugust 11, 2013The avocado salad and the Juanita's chicken are a powerfully delicious combination. But don't get the combos because its cheaper to buy each dish individually.- $12 for a whole chicken is such good value. Green sauce is key, but the chicken is so juicy that sauce is pretty unnecessary.
Amy CummingsMarch 25, 2018The atmosphere isn’t as good as the Hell’s Kitchen location, but the lomo saltado is just as delicious.
ChrysHKJuly 7, 2016The sangria is so so, the mozzarella tastes like salted plastic, the chicken is a roasted chicken you can find in any French rotisserie. Portion are quite big, American size.
Alice NamAugust 8, 2014Delicious peruvian dinner spot. Try their sangria while waiting for friends at the bar
Kartik SathappanAugust 7, 2014The rotisserie chicken is so moist it's unbelievable. I've never had a better chicken breast.
Ellis HamburgerAugust 10, 2014Ask for the creamy, spicy green sauce. Then ask for even more green sauce.
MeCritic.comNovember 26, 2011The food is always very fresh. Keep in mind they only accept cash and Amex for payment.
Green sauce is great. The matador combo is good for 2-3, if you have a few eaters go for a seafood platter too.
Humayun RashidDecember 27, 2012Cozier location than the Hells Kitchen one but still the same consistent delicious chicken!
Cesar RazuriJuly 29, 2012The ceviche was alright, but when you come here, it's all about the pollo a la brasa.
Tania TorresFebruary 9, 2013Very delicious chicken but definitely not a big portion. Order twice of what you would usually get.
Ernesto GutierrezJuly 22, 2017Chicken is the specialty here. Don't bother with any other type of meat. Chicken empanadas are a delight. The ceviches are a big disappointment for a Peruvian restaurant, very bland.
Jeremy KoenigJune 10, 2012You just got to get the sangria its so delicious once it hits your tongue !!
- Christopher TaiApril 17, 2011This place has some amazin' chicken. Order the Chicken Pio, or if you're really hungry, order the Peruvian Combo!
Nureen GulamaliDecember 11, 2011I've heard the green sauce is made of the same ingredients as crack cocaine. I don't doubt it - seriously addictive.
Immediately get a pitcher of sangria. It's by far one of the best ones I've ever had and you'll be occupied by the time you get your Matador Combo. You get so much delicious food. Super great value.
Amazing chicken. Matador combo is a feast... Sub the tostones for maduras.
